Other information, while viewable by default, can be hidden from public view. This includes:

Playlists you follow or have created.

What music you play (which is published to the Friend Feed by default).

The top tracks and artists shown on your profile.

Content you post, upload, and/or contribute to the service.

To adjust the visibility of this information, check out our guide to Privacy settings.

Remember:

Information that is publicly available, such as your public playlists, may be used, linked to, or re-shared by others on the service or across the web. Even if you remove a playlist or make a playlist private, others who already subscribed to or have a link to it (e.g. via a link) can likely still access it.

Also keep in mind that playlists and other information added to your Spotify profile may include information, such as your username, which could enable others to find you within the Spotify service or on other services. Please use Spotify carefully and be mindful of your settings.

Communications

You have full control over how much communication you receive from us, including notifications and marketing information. Check out our guide to managing your notifications.

Sometimes our partners will reach out to you too. These emails will always include 'Unsubscribe' links, so use these if you don’t want to receive communication like that in future.

Your device

Spotify may request permissions to use some information from your device to provide certain features (e.g. microphone access). We'll only access such information after asking your permission, which you control.

Your mobile device’s operating system may allow you to control these permissions. For more information, please visit the support site for your operating system.

3rd party app permissions

Spotify is pleased to support interaction with third-party applications to produce fresh and innovative features for you. If you connect your Spotify account to a 3rd-party application, that application may require certain permissions to function.

If you would like to revoke any permissions from these apps, you can do so from your account page. Just tap Apps in the menu on the left, and REVOKE ACCESS next to the application you wish.
